"Between Theater and Philosophy studies the aggressive, restless, and critical skepticism of the major city comedies of early modern English dramatists Ben Jonson and Thomas Middleton. The book places the city comedies in the context of the battle between theater and philosophy declared by Plato's expulsion of theater from his ideal republic."—BOOK JACKET.
